Practicing Islam and following men are entirely different things.
Islam doesn't mean peace, it means submission to God. It's a religion that stresses the connection between man and God, no middle men. I don't follow any scholars, I don't follow the fanatical Imams in mosques that say it's wrong to vote, and I sure as hell don't follow blind believers. Islam of old was a religion that based it's advances in science, mathematics, and poetry, not war and blood shed.
So excuse me for caring about how my faith is portrayed to the world. People like general who have the audacity to claim that a person is a Muslim or not as if they are the creator show exactly what's wrong with the Islamic faith today.
I never insulted Islam, I insulted Muslims of today. If that means I sinned, well God forgive me.
I'm going to stop it at that, if I offended you, sorry, my bad. This is the fucked up thing about religious debates, they really get no where, and it leaves people insulted and hurt. I take full blame if I did insult you, I should have practised what I preach and kept my religious beliefs private.
